Bloodline of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 160 Brothers Compete with Liu Long
"Why do we have to waste our brains here for Liu Long and Liu Junyi? The most important thing now is to choose the leader of our coalition as soon as possible. Only then can we better complete this challenge." Yuan Shu got up and said.

"Brother Gonglu is right. This coalition cannot succeed without a leader. In my opinion, you, Yuan Gonglu, are the best candidate." Xiliang Ma Teng stood up and said.As for why Ma Teng proposed Yuan Shu as the leader of the coalition, it was because Ma Teng had received Liu Long's instruction to sow discord between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.Let the relationship between the two of them, which was not originally harmonious, become even more tense.

"Ma Teng's words are justified. The Yuan family is the fourth generation and the third prince, and Yuan Shu is still the direct son of the Yuan family, so he is still qualified to be the leader of the coalition." Yuan Yi agreed.Seeing that Yuan Shao's expression had become very ugly, he did not expect that someone would recommend Yuan Shu.

"I think it's more suitable for Brother Benchu ​​to be the leader of this alliance, and in this alliance, Brother Benchu ​​has the most troops, so Brother Benchu ​​is more suitable." Cao Cao said.Cao Cao couldn't see Ma Teng's intentions. Although he was not sure about the relationship between Ma Teng and Liu Long, Cao Cao would not believe that the two were in the same situation.Since Ma Teng intends to provoke the Yuan brothers, why not help him out.

For a while, there was a debate about whether Yuan Shu was the leader of the coalition or Yuan Shao. Both sides held their own opinions and refused to give in to each other.Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Shu with a bit more sinister eyes.Of course Yuan Shu also looked at Yuan Shao in the same way.

While everyone was arguing, someone came to report that Liu Long had sent someone to the camp of the coalition army, and asked all the princes to come out to greet him.This angered the Yuan family brothers who were already angry with me.The two yelled at the soldier who reported the letter.

"Don't be impatient, both of you. Since the person sent by Liu Junyi dares to ask me to greet him, he must have something to rely on. It's better to ask first before talking." Cao Cao persuaded.

After hearing Cao Cao's words, the two also felt that it was reasonable, so they said to the soldier who reported the letter: "Go and ask him, what status does he have that I should go to greet him. If you can't tell the reason, just give me a stick." Get out." The soldier ran out of the tent after hearing this.

Not long after, the soldier returned to the big tent again and said to the princes: "The man said that the sword in his hand is the Emperor's Sword. It is not him, but the Emperor's Sword that the princes greeted."

This time, everyone had to go out to greet them. After all, they were still the courtiers of the big man in name, although they no longer had the big man in their hearts.But surface work still needs to be done.Cao Cao stood up first and said, "Since the person who came is holding the Chixiao Sword, we have no choice but to go out to meet him. Otherwise, we will give up the truth, and Liu Junyi will have a reason to point at us in the future."

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he walked out of the big tent, and the other princes also followed Cao Cao out of the big tent. Even if Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were reluctant, they had no choice but to come out to meet Chixiaojian.

This time it was Xi Zhicai who came to the camp of the coalition army, he saw all the princes coming to welcome Chi Xiaojian, he couldn't help laughing in his heart, and said to himself: "Since you have come out, you will definitely be able to show your majesty now."

"You were sent by Liu Junyi, what's your business in our camp." Yuan Shu said arrogantly.

"Bold Yuan Shu, it's so difficult that you don't know. Seeing Emperor Jian Chixiao is like seeing Gaozu. Why don't you kneel down and pay homage to Gaozu? What's your intention? It's so difficult that you can't do Dong Zhuo." Xi Zhicai looked majestic. Pointing at Yuan Shu, he angrily reprimanded.

"Of course I know that seeing Emperor Jian Chixiao is like seeing Gaozu. But I can't fully salute with my armor on my body." Yuan Shu cupped his hands carefully and symbolically.Although Yuan Shu's excuse is very far-fetched, but in this era when the big man exists in name only, no one thinks it is far-fetched.

"Yuan Shu dared to ignore the Chixiao Sword. Are you afraid that I will escort you back to the barracks and hand you over to King Youzhou?" Xi Zhicai pointed at Yuan Shu.This made everyone feel puzzled. It's so difficult that the person Liu Long sent was a fool, and he wanted to command the soldiers of the coalition army. It's ridiculous.After all, they only saw Xi Zhicai alone, and did not bring a single soldier.

After hearing Xi Zhicai's words, Yuan Shu laughed loudly and pointed at Xi Zhicai and said, "Although you have the Chixiao sword in your hand, you can't even think about commanding it. I want to see how you handle every single soldier here. took me down."

Before Xi Zhi could speak, Yuan Shao said, "Second brother, why do you have to be as knowledgeable as a lunatic?" Yuan Shao said the word "second brother" very seriously, for fear that others would not know that he is Yuan Shu's elder brother. .Of course everyone understands Yuan Shao's intention, which is to tell everyone that he is the eldest son of the Yuan family, and although he is a concubine, he is also your elder brother Yuan Shu.

"It's so hard that you, Yuan Shao, dare to despise the Chixiao Sword, and you never thought that the Yuan family, which is dignified for four generations and three princes, would give birth to you two rebellious sons." Xi Zhicai said disdainfully.

Hearing Xi Zhicai insulting him, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao were furious at the same time, and ordered Xi Zhicai to be taken down.This frightened Cao Cao. If the two really tricked Zhicai, then Liu Long would not turn his face against the coalition army.At that time, Dong Zhuo hadn't started a war yet, and his own people would fight first, which would be a big joke.

Cao Cao was about to speak to stop him, but he heard Xi Zhicai say: "Where are the Nether Ghost Soldiers? Take down Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, two rebellious ministers. Anyone who obstructs them will be killed."

As soon as Xi Zhicai finished speaking, dozens of Nether Ghost Soldiers appeared in front of the princes. Of course, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao's necks already had a triangular army thorn.As long as they dared to move, they would instantly take their lives.Just as the two guards wanted to rescue them, they were already stabbed by the triangular army of the ghost soldiers.

All the princes stared at the Nether Ghost Soldier who appeared suddenly, secretly rejoicing in their hearts that they hadn't done anything radical just now, otherwise a strange weapon would appear around their necks now.At the same time, he has deepened his vigilance against Liu Long.

"Which of you dare to ignore the Chixiao Sword?" Xi Zhicai raised the Chixiao Sword and asked the other princes, but all the princes remained silent.

Seeing that the princes did not speak, Xi Zhicai went on to say: "Since you still recognize the Chixiao Sword, then pay homage to the sacred object." After speaking, Xi Zhicai put the Chixiao Sword on the wooden frame behind him, and walked away Give up the position.This is also what Liu Long specifically explained. Liu Long's goal is the Yuan brothers.As for the others, Liu Long still needs to show some face, after all, Liu Long still wants to be the leader of the coalition.

The princes also knew that Xi Zhi was trying to save face, so it was easier to accept paying homage to the Chixiao Sword.Cao Cao took the lead in giving the emperor Jian Chixiao a great gift from the emperor and ministers, and then everyone else also stepped forward to salute.At this time, Liu Long's first dismount was considered a success.
